Note that if you do need to resubmit coursework, this can affect your entitlement to student finance or may have an impact on your Tier 4 visa. Talk to our Student Advice team to check whether your funding or visa may be affected.

If you need short-term exam arrangements due to a temporary condition

If you've broken a limb or had a recent injury and need short-term arrangements to enable you to sit an exam, you can make a request via our Individual exam arrangements page.

If you have an exam clash

An exam clash is when you have two or more exams scheduled for the same time on the same day. If you have two or more exams on the same day but at different times, this would not be an exam clash.

If you fail an assessment or need to retake a module

Each year, your final, confirmed results for each module are published on your student record.

You may find that you have assessments that are marked as 'referred' or modules that are marked as 'retake'.

If you have a referred assessment, it means you'll be able to re-sit or re-submit the assessment in the summer on specific dates, which are published on our Results and awards page.

If you have a module with a status of 'Failed; Retake', you'll need to retake the module in the next academic year, including attending all the classes and re-sitting and re-submitting any assessments.

For more information on results, including on referrals, retakes and other statuses, check our Results and awards page.

Note that if you do need to retake an assessment or module, this can affect your entitlement to student finance or may have an impact on your Tier 4 visa. Talk to our Student Advice team to check whether your funding or visa may be affected.

If you think an assessment mark has been wrongly recorded

If you think one or more of your marks have been incorrectly recorded on your student record and you have evidence of this, you can request a results discrepancy investigation.

If you're struggling with essay writing, maths, IT or other study skills

There are a range of options for students who wish to develop their study skills, including academic skills workshops and appointments, Academic English modules and IT training.
